A NOTE FROM
THE ACTIVITIES DIRECTOR Welcome to Community Alliance for the Blind's (CAB's) December 2002 & January 2003 Update. CAB's Board Of Directors and Staff would like to wish everyone here at CAB a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. CAB is now preparing for another year full of fun Activities and great Programs, CAB hopes to see everyone return after the Holidays. Remember that you can still make a request to have your own copy of CAB's December 2002 & January 2003 Newsletter in a CD Audio Format. CAB would also like to hear your opinions and suggestions concerning this new Newsletter Format. Unfortunately the Braille version of CAB's Newsletter is temporarily unavailable. CAB's Activities Contest is once again brought back with popular demand and CAB's 2002 Activities Contest will start on Friday, December 6th, 2002, and will end on Friday, January 4th, 2003. This is the time to start brainstorming and coming up with great ideas for a CAB Activity. Activities Contest Info:
Community Alliance for the Blind (CAB) is Celebrating Five Years of existence and dedicated service to the blind and visually impaired community at large. CAB started out in a little office no bigger than a bedroom and was only serving 10 to 20 blind and visually impaired students. Now CAB is twice its size and CAB is serving over 40 to 60 blind and visually impaired students. CAB would like to thank the many people, organizations, and businesses that have supported CAB many programs and activities through the last five years. CAB would also like to thank its students for spreading the word bout CAB and attending CAB Activities because without you guys CAB probably wouldn't exist and be as successful as it is today.
